About the job Senior Attorney-Trusts and Estate Panning
Shape the financial futures of those who built something extraordinary.
This is a rare seat inside a nationally recognized firm where private wealth strategy meets the complexity of real transactions - liquidity events, generational legacies, and the families navigating both.
You won't be doing surface-level work here. The firm's private wealth practice is deeply integrated with its corporate and transactional teams - which means you'll regularly advise on the estate planning implications of M&A deals, founder liquidity events, and IPOs. It's the kind of sophisticated, multi-dimensional work that's hard to find.
What You'll Be Doing
Crafting advanced estate, gift, and GST tax strategies for high-net-worth individuals and family enterprises
Guiding fiduciaries, trustees, and family offices through governance, administration, and risk decisions
Advising founders and executives on wealth transfer planning tied to major corporate transactions
Drafting sophisticated trust instruments, estate planning documents, and related structures
Building financial and tax projections that support complex wealth transfer planning
What We're Looking For
The essentials:
J.D. from an accredited law school with strong academic credentials
Active U.S. bar admission, or eligibility to obtain admission in a relevant jurisdiction
5+ years of hands-on experience in estate planning, trust administration, and tax strategy
Strong drafting instincts and the ability to manage complex matters with confidence
Nice to have:
LL.M. in Taxation, Estate Planning, or a related discipline
Experience advising founders or executives on M&A, IPO, or liquidity event planning
Familiarity with closely held businesses and family partnership structures
Business development experience or portable relationships - welcomed but not required
Why This Role
Compensation: Competitive salary and bonus structure that reflects the caliber of work you'll be doing
Benefits: Comprehensive premium healthcare and benefits package
Flexibility: Hybrid work schedule - structure your week in a way that works for you
Clientele: Work directly with founders, executives, and multi-generational family enterprises at pivotal moments
Growth: A genuinely collaborative culture where your professional development is a shared priority
